You know that term was coined by a Socialist who fought a war to bring about a leftist government, right?

I can accuse you of virtue signaling and then toss around a few other buzzwords while claiming to be in an intellectual debate, if you'd like.

But then how we will let everyone know that we're too sophisticated for bad television?

All I want is to create the perfect genetic soldier. Not for evil… but for good!

I just want to point out that this is literally a joke from the live action Street Fighter movie. M. Bison does this exact thing. We're living in the Pax Bisonica, people.

Huh, a man who used radical ideology and claimed to be a believer in liberty transforming into a traditional monarchist authoritarian at the first glimmering of power, who would have thought?

Hell, most pop culture geeks adore Firefly, despite the fact that it's drenched in Lost Cause States' Rights dialogue and imagery.

Nope, not even remotely. It portrays James as a bloody and violent man whose life of crime is just one angry and unfocused attempt to revenge himself on a country he thinks has failed him. He's scary as hell and feels like doom hangs over him in every scene, while Ford's murder of him is a necessary act. It's very,…

Given that carbon rods are supposed to prevent things like Chernobyl, maybe they should have.

If you don't mind just subbing in another videogame score, the soundtrack to FTL is perfect. I mean, it's designed for space exploration, so it should fit. Hyper Light Drifter soundtrack too, which is also my favorite music to write to.

Yeah, Freelancer 2 would be perfect and I've wanted it for years. It's a shame that its director is fully committed to an over-ambitious boondoggle instead of just doing a proper sequel.

Stardew Valley is a masterpiece. I think my fiance and I put as much combined time into it as we did The Witcher 3, and it also made me start growing my own garden and trying to get more of my life in order. Like, that game is just straight-up wholesome and good and was probably tied with Inside for GOTY for me.

Route B offers a very different perspective, some more information about the world and themes, and it plays much faster— I blasted through it really quickly. Routes A and B are mostly doing the set-up work to establish the characters and stakes. If you enjoyed what you played so far, it's absolutely worth sticking…

I didn't expect Nier Automata to reduce me to tears multiple times, that's for damn sure— the scene with Pascal's children wrecked me harder than anything in recent gaming history, apart from the last chapter of The Beginner's Guide .

I don't have a "narrative"— I have an opinion on your behavior based on the fact that you go through the same tired arguments every time you show up and the fact that you use every opportunity to soapbox about the Regressive Left and your favorite half-dozen catchphrases and insults. (And, for the record, the…

Nah, HoM's using a made-up definition: the actual meaning of the term "regressive left" is specifically to criticize multicultural leftists who are seen as being unreasonably tolerant of radical Islam. HoM's latched onto it like a lamprey though and likes to shout it all over this website at anything to the left of…

Libertarianism is a pretty inherently douchey philosophy, so yes.

Yeah, people talk about how we need to defend Bill Maher because he sticks it to those conservatives so good, as though he's the only person with the wit and courage to call Sarah Palin the c-word. Dude is a bad comedian and an un-insightful commentator.

Edit: nah, I don't like the joke I made.

"They're young men with names like Isaac and Ezekiel who come into Berlin, sell modernist art, and get an Aryan girl pregnant."
